Title: Apache's First Catch
Post by: Mike on October 01, 2008, 08:36:05 pm
We finally got Sean's big white monster out on his first hunt yesterday. Apache is a cat/ab cross that I got from Scott last year as a puppy. The dogs struck a group of hogs in the palmettos... and of course grab a shoat! Clay turned loose Jug and Sean turned Apache loose. He flew straight to the bay, swam a chest-deep slough and was caught hard when we got there. I was real impressed with him.

Clay and I volunteered Sean to get wet since he's always working and gets to miss out on all the action! ;D

I'd guess 80# to 90#.... he's not finished growing yet.

I've got a few properties that you'd fit right a home in... and they're all right inside Houston!

thanks clay and mike for getting my boy on his first real catch! had a great time despite swimming through the muck,lol  :D matt, can't wait till you get to see him in action, looks like he's got the right instincts. here's the only pic i have of him up close at the moment, he was about 9 months here, he's about a year old now.

Glad to see Apache is off to a good start. Definitely built like his daddy...should be a strong son of a gun ;)
Sean, good to see you getting into the action too  ;D

How is Apache's brindle brother doing?

Thanks for posting the pics.
